When? And What?

WELCOME!

RUDY HOFFMAN

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our fellow beekeepers and members, Rudy Hoffman (January 15, 1942 - Thursday, April 23, 2015). Rudy was such a kind soul and mentor to so many of us. He'll be greatly missed. [Obituary]

NC Honey Bee License Plate Initiative! Thank you!The Franklin County Beekeepers Association spearheaded a North Carolina specialty plate to honor our state insect, the honey bee. We needed and received 300+ applications. Thank you for your support!More information can be found here.

Seasonal comments: Beautiful Weather, Expanding PopulationsApril, May: Winter is behind us and the honey bees should be flying! Make sure your equipment is ready for honey season and think about placing supers on those hives. The honey flow always seems to begin when we are all caught flat footed. Get the bees ready and give them some space to expand.

We are a small association of peers dedicated to furthering the
knowledge of and interest in beekeeping in Franklin
County, North Carolina.

Our club sprang to life in late 2007 due primarily to the efforts of Larry Green and a small group of people he recruited to
help him. Franklin County has been until now, and may have always been, without
a beekeepers association.

We are young, but rapidly growing. If you are interested in joining, please
contact one of us or simply show up to a meeting.
We'd love to have you.
